Tycos_mom Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 They sound so sweet I just love hawkheads but there hard to find in British Columbia Canada the closest breeder is on the other side of the Country at least the only one I know of and they don't like to ship their birds. Probubly just as well or I'm sure I would have another bird to worry over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thank you,They are a little rare, and pricey, out of my range, but a great bird...:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 That is so cute, they are so pretty but I love to look at them and not own one, definitely out of my league but thanks for sharing a pic of one with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Salsa is adorable! At my local pet store the owner there has a Hawkhead that is there sometimes. It's name is America. Beautiful bird! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Wow, what a beautiful zon you have, it's wonderful to see they get along right now. :-) Hawkheads are very rare, my Breeder raises them as well. They have a hard time getting more than one fertile egg out of a laying of 3 or so. Thanks for posting these photos. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thank you, were going to work with both of them to try and bond a friendship between them... This Hawkhead was the same 1 out of 3, It was a blast to take care of him...:cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tycos_mom Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 He is so cute I bet he was fun to take care of I would have big trouble not keeping him what a little sweetie. I wonder why they are so hard to breed 1 out of 3 isn't very good odds. I wonder if its like that in the wild as well.<br><br>Post edited by: Tycos_mom, at: 2009/07/01 19:54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hawkheads are one of my favourites as well, thanks for sharing those beautiful pictures:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 We have had our new baby Salsa, about a week now. An Amazon is so different from a Grey. Spock, her and the two suns get along great. (We hope it continues, not much chance) The way Salsa got her name was really cute. We were driving her home and he/she was very quiet the whole time. We were tossing back and forth possible names when I said "How about Salsa?" All of a sudden, she started chattering. I said "do you like the name Salsa?" and she kept on chattering louder.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thanks for sharing Salsa with us. He is adorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyBird Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The breeder who I am supposed to be getting my TAG egg from (chances are dwindling, however) also raises hawkheads. The male is Euro 980 and the female is Euro 1200. Is it a difficult bird to own? Your birds are beautiful. How is the behavior of the amazon so different than the grey?

Jayd Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thank you so much...A hawkhead is a great bird, much like a CAG, you have to praise them when good and don't let them start any bad habits. They have more fruit and veggies in ther diet and seed.They like to cuddle, talk and sing, but they can be head strong.They cost around $2000.00 USA. Amazons LOL, You treat a amazon with respect, love, praise, and a rod! (joking) They can be aggressive and stubborn, loving and bossie... You have to be strong with them, tell them No, not the same as a Grey...and during mating season it's best to use a perch with them...:ohmy: (love-um all) Jay and Maggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckobird Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Beautiful pictures of Salsa, and of Spock and Salsa. They are so cute together, looks like they get along great too. That hawkhead is absolutely gorgeous too. Ever since you posted that picture it got me really interested in them, I can't believe I've never heard of them before. I've been researching a lot about hawkheads and it makes me want one in my future, they are so beautiful, gosh thanks a lot haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Thank you as always,Hawkheads are much like CAG'S in the way you treat and raise them, their a few grams lighter then a Congo, closer to a TAG... Jay and Maggie, luv to Ecko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
